LETTER: Muslim community's 'silence is deafening'

In regards to a letter to the editor on April 22, your are right; there will be more bias and ill will towards Muslims because of Boston. But it is not the fault of Americans, it is the fault of the Muslim community and the Muslim leaders. You either sympathize with these radical Islamic Muslim terrorists, or you are afraid of these radical Islamic Muslims terrorist or you don't care and don't want to get involved. In any case, you and your leaders never speak out against radical Islamic Muslims terrorists and never try to make the case for the good, peaceful, caring Muslims. Your silence is deafening.

As for Muslims or Islam not being to blame, when was the last time in this world you saw or heard about radical Hindus or Buddhists or Jews or Christians or even an atheist blow up and kill innocent people in the name of their beliefs? It is always radical Islamic Muslims in the name of Allah and Islam where thousands of innocent people, and hundreds of innocent school children (Russia) have been killed or blown up; even in predominant Muslim countries. This is the reason Muslims are looked on with suspicion throughout the world. You have laid out a pattern. Most Americans including myself would like to know the reasons for this genocide of the innocents by Islamic Muslim terrorists.

Islam has doubled the number of mosques in America since 2009 to well over 2,000 mosques. Many consider these as peaceful places of worship for peaceful peoples and many consider these as Trojan horses or incubators for radical Islamic Muslim terrorists. It is up to the Muslim community and Muslim leaders in America to make the case for what they really are, and what they want to be known for. It's time to step up.
